While the Left agonizes over its relationship to the Democrats, the extreme right has few qualms about throwing elbows within the GOP. Socialists should follow their lead and accept doing battle within the Democratic Party as the only viable political option.

    When all you have are evils, voting for the lesser one is about all one can do.

    I’m not a liberal, I am of the left, but I maintain a D party affiliation (required with voter registration in my state). I’m knocking on doors this weekend to help activate local Dems and build a stronger ground game for 2024.

    Why? Because the surest sign you are speaking to a political illiterate is hearing: bOth SiDes ArE thE SAme!

    The Dems forgave 75% of my student loans, just by demanding the loan servicer follow the rules I agreed to when I took them out. The FCC under this administration just told ISPs to suck it up and start being transparent in their billing bt itemizing fees.

    These are just two examples of policies that have immediate impact on my daily existence. These policy pushes would never come from the other guys.
